I love beautiful Yorkie photo's and in the beginning might have thought nothing of using them for people to see...but you learn what is ethcially correct with time...
Posting on a forum with the owners/breeders name attached can in no way deceive..JMO

I did have a breeder take a photo of some of my puppies and use it to advertize her puppy selling web site...she thought I would be honored..and it took alot of explaining to show her how unethical that was...none of the pups for sale were mine or even the same bloodline...a rose is a rose, but a Yorkie is not a Yorkie...!

Thanks, Pat!
